Head Flashcards
Which nasal cartilages are present in the horse
Dorsal Lateral–attaches to nasal bone that rounds out top of nasal opening
Alar– 1) cornu=curved part shapes the ventral aspect of nasal cavity
2) lamina-sheet like piece
Medial accessory–covered by alar fold covered by mucosa
describe the relationship of the alar cartilage to the anatomy of the nostril
Alar fold
- -divides the two nostrils into halves (upper dorsal and lower ventral)
- -flap of skin that projects into nasal cavity and attaches to ventral conchae
- -forms the bottom nasal diverticulum
Limits and function of nasal cavity
Limits: extends from nasal opening back to level of eyes
function: filters, warms, and humidifies inspired air (accomplished by respiratory epithelium and turbinate bones)
describe the placement of a nasogastric tube in a horse
point the tube ventrally to avoid the nasal diverticulum
nasal septum
white piece of hyaline cartilage along midline
can get inflamed and get bigger and cause issues/obstruction
boundaries of the nasal cavity
dorsal–nasal bone
lateral– 1) incisive bone 2) maxilla 3) lacrimal bone 4) zygomatic bone
ventral–hard palate–compound bone
Where is the best space to place a stomach tube
ventral/common nasal meatus
blood supply to the nasal cavity and nostrils
to the nostril: nasal arteries
to the nasal cavity: sphenopalantine arteries
innervation to nostrils and nasal cavity
sensory to nostril–infraorbital (twitching nose)
Motor to nostril–branches of facial nerve CN VII
Nerves in the nasal cavity–cranial nerves I (olfactory) and V (sensory to mucosa)
limits of nasal meatuses
Dorsal meatus–between dorsal conchae and nasal bone
middle meatus–between dorsal and ventral conchae
ventral meatus–between ventral conchae and hard palate
common meatus–along nasal septum spanning from nasal bone to hard palate
what is another name for internal nares
Choanae–exit from nasal cavity back into pharynx
what are the divisions of the mouth
vestibule–lateral to teeth
oral cavity proper–medial to teeth
what are the bones of the hard palate
Maxilla, palatine, incisive
what are the raphe and rugae
raphe–midline of oral cavity
rugae–ridges that eminate from raphe
Function to hold food within the oral cavity
What and where isthe incisive papilla
it is the blind end nasoincisive duct and it is the rounded bump behind teeth
Sublingual caruncle
triangular flap in rostril area of cavity
it is the flap for mandibular salivary gland
sublingual fold
extends in caudal direction and contains polystomatic sublingual salivary glands.
NO monostomatic sublingual salivary gland
lingual frenulum
fold of mucosa that attaches to tongue
what are the four types of lingual papillae
1-filiform–found on body and apex not on root (purely mechanical)
2-fungiform–lateral and scattered look like round dots
3-vallate–serve as anatomical landmark between root and body (crater/volcano shaped pits)
4-foliate-not really papillae but more like ridges located laterally on root
what papillae contain taste buds
fungiform, vallate, foliate
Intrinsic lingual muscles
form bulk of tongue and insert within the tongue itself
Extrinsic lingual muscles
originate away from structure and attach to tongue Styloglossus--lateral hyoglossus--root genioglossus--medial Associated lingual muscles
what are the associated lingual muscles
geniohyoideus–chin to hyoid bone
hyoepiglotticus–from hyoid to epiglottis
mylohyoideus–spans intermandibular space originating on inside edge of mandible
blood supply to the tongue
lingual and sublingual arteries–branches of the facial artery
